She wore a purple bikini and kitten heels down the runway.
The pair have been out and about throughout the off-season. Dart and Ayers were spotted together on a fishing trip in January. They also dazzled at Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Derby.

The pair were first linked when they were spotted together at a Halloween party in October. Ayers was seen with Dart’s family on the sidelines ahead of the Giants’ 33-15 loss to the New England Patriots in early December.
They cemented their relationship when Ayers posted a slideshow of photos of them together in early January.
Ayers, who graduated from the University of Alabama in May, is a ring girl for Jake Paul’s most valuable campaigns. She was seen in the ring for the Jahmal Harvey-Kevin Cervantes and Paul-Anthony Joshua fights.
Dart has not only made headlines for his outings with his girlfriend, when he introduced President Trump at a rally in New York last month, causing a stir.
